 ## Props: Extracting Prop Types of a Component
 
-There are a lot of places where you want to reuse some slices of props because of prop drilling,
-so you can either export the props type as part of the module or extract them (either way works).
+Sometimes you want the prop types of a component, but it isn't exported.
 
-The advantage of extracting the prop types is that you won't need to export everything, and a refactor of the source of truth component will propagate to all consuming components.
-
-```ts
-import { ComponentProps, JSXElementConstructor } from "react";
-
-// goes one step further and resolves with propTypes and defaultProps properties
-type ApparentComponentProps<
-  C extends keyof JSX.IntrinsicElements | JSXElementConstructor<any>
-> = C extends JSXElementConstructor<infer P>
-  ? JSX.LibraryManagedAttributes<C, P>
-  : ComponentProps<C>;
-```
-
-You can also use them to strongly type custom event handlers if they're not written at the call sites themselves
-(i.e. inlined with the JSX attribute):
+A simple solution is to use `React.ComponentProps`:
 
 ```tsx
-// my-inner-component.tsx
-export function MyInnerComponent(props: {
-  onSomeEvent(
-    event: ComplexEventObj,
-    moreArgs: ComplexArgs
-  ): SomeWeirdReturnType;
-}) {
-  /* ... */
-}
-
-// my-consuming-component.tsx
-export function MyConsumingComponent() {
-  // event and moreArgs are contextually typed along with the return value
-  const theHandler: Props<typeof MyInnerComponent>["onSomeEvent"] = (
-    event,
-    moreArgs
-  ) => {};
-  return <MyInnerComponent onSomeEvent={theHandler} />;
-}
+// a Modal component defined elsewhere
+const defaultProps: React.ComponentProps<typeof Modal> = {
+	title: "Hello World",
+	visible: true,
+	onClick: jest.fn(),
+};
 ```
 
+There are advanced edge cases if you want to extract the prop types of a component taking into account internal props, `propTypes`, and `defaultProps` - [check our issue here for helper utilities that resolve these](https://github.com/typescript-cheatsheets/react/issues/63).

 ## Props: Render Props
 
 > Advice: Where possible, you should try to use Hooks instead of Render Props. We include this merely for completeness.
